Please join the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) at its monthly meeting at the Connecticut Science Center, Hartford, CT, on October 17, 2017. This meeting will feature a dinner buffet followed by a screening of Dream Big: Engineering Our World, a giant-screen film that shows how today's engineers are shaping the world of tomorrow.

The CSCE of the present is the result of a merger of two organizations that occurred 30 years ago. The Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1884, while the Connecticut Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1919. In 1958, the Section had 523 members. In 1955 (the nearest comparable year for reliable numbers), the Society had 1,033 members. The two organizations met separately until they merged in 1981, by mutual vote of membership, to become the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers Section of American Society of Civil Engineers or CSCE.
